20 Sliders

This is a featured upload! It showcases the best talent and creativity available on MTS and in the community.

This is a set of 20 face sliders available for use in Bodyshop, CaS, and in the plastic surgery view. These sliders create inheritable facial features (of course if not used for a plastic surgery), and can be used on uploaded sims without downloaders needing to download the slider in order for the sim to display properly. Sim files do not contain information about used sliders.

If you have my pre-release set of sliders (simNopke-sliders1) delete it before you install the new set.

Contents of the set

Conflicts
The sliders themselves won't conflict with anything, but their icons use a Maxis group, so slider creators have to be careful while setting instances for icons.

You are definitely my hero! I've been wanting something to make ears that stick out for ages!

Now if only it was possible to make body height sliders then TS2 would be perfect! :P

Hmm... I wonder if it would be possible to make an ear tip point slider/ear tip length slider to make it easier to give Sims pointed elf-like ears? It's always bothered me that the only want to give Sims elf ears is to completely remake the face, that you can't select ears separately (like you can select nose shape, eye shape and so on separately from the overall face shape).

I'd like to know if there's an issue with removing this download from our folders, in case we'd like to rearrange things. Like will removing these download effect the our Saved Sims, or break the way BodyShop works, etc.?

No I don't think so @d_dgjdhh - Nopke says on the upload page:

"These sliders create inheritable facial features ... and can be used on uploaded sims without downloaders needing to download the slider in order for the sim to display properly. Sim files do not contain information about used sliders."

I'm pretty sure that that means (my emphasis) once the sim's faces are set with the sliders, they have no more influence over them. Being able to put them in games without the sliders present shows that. That's generally how the game works anyway - once you've set up the sim, the creation tools are no longer relevant.

Unfortunately body sliders can't be created this way. It works differently than in The Sims 3. For now, I can only create face sliders.

Yes, custom sliders for pets are possible.

I've tried and it turned out that the face mesh doesn't have enough polygons. It looked like sunken cheecks.

As maxon said: created sims won't change.

Yes, this is definitely one of these things that i have ever wanted for The Sims 2: custom sliders! Now I just need Body Shop to start - Face customizing, here i come...

Thanks for making this game even better than before

which game are you using? you need to use the body shop for the most recent ep you have. you also need to give it 20+ minutes to load if you have a lot of cc. also you need to empty the game caches regularly in the "sims 2" folder in your ea games folder. i thought my body shop "wasn't starting either" until i understood those three things.

All of my sims have similar faces cus i can't find a way to make great sims out of the existing options. Thanks to you, i now got that little extra to make them more unique. Adjusting my sims' faces in Sims 2 will no longer be boring! Thank you so much! :D
